I need inspiraiton,

There's this subject that i take requires you to think hard an dig deep into your grey matter. I went in front to ask my lecturer for tips and advice, so he said: 'You have to think more than what you can think of'. If you read that again, it sounds a tad bit senseless.

My beloveds came over to surprise me on my birthday :) So nice to have your love ones around on a busy Monday night. Friends that you can be very sure of their attendance on your wedding day:) Thank you dearies!

I went to Dubai in UAE last week.

Let's see..,
Sahara Dessert, SHOPPING, Burj Khalifah, Burj al-Arab, Palm Island.

'If you miss any of these, you've basically never been to Dubai.' -Tour Guide.

It's my first time to the dessert, as it was winter the temperature wasn't very warm even in the afternoon and obviously it wasn't snowing. The dessert. i must say, it very beautiful. It's exactly how it looks like on TV:x You know, i might actually prefer the dessert more than snow. It was THAT breathtaking.

And of course, Burj Khalifah!

Currently the tallest building in the world if you didn't know that *COUGHKARMUNCOUGH.
It's 828m tall, which is double Malaysia's Petronas Twin Towers.
It has 160 floors and it takes only 60secs to reach the 142th floor, which is also the observation deck. Ish! Even their 'binoculars' are super efficient!

In Dubai, only 16% are locals. So lil? And the guys there are filthy. My jeep driver into the Sahara Dessert was a local. He's some rich fella too, since that was just his 'fun' job and his uncle owns Emirates Tour, so he told us a lot about the insights of Dubai which i'm not sure if i should type it out here._.

xx.

Here goes college,

Hey y'all!

I blogged a day before i started college actually, but the pictures failed to upload and i was too lazy to wait. I'll post it up as soon as it's done!

So, I've started college about a week now. It has basically been just orientation & introduction to my subjects. I have 6 subjects this semester, which is like almost half the subjects i take for SPM-,-

My first day was unforgettable. I take the Taylor's bus college and the bus only comes at 4pm. It was 3.50pm and orientation was still going on. We HAD to leave or the bus will leave us. So we ran out, and tadaaaa HEAVY RAIN. It was quite a long distance at that time. You'll get what i mean soon. We had to walk fast under the heavy rain, and by the time we got up the bus we were all drenched. The worst part was, the following day, we found out a way shorter way with shelter to the pick up point. pffft

We have this program called the 'Buddy Program' where you're assigned to a senior to help you out on maybe getting materials and stuff? Hmm. Besides that, my student ID looks retarded. No surprise. They stretch your face horizontally ahaha. I never look good in all these official pictures anyway. One of the reasons why i don't like people touching my purse.

Other than that, I've been reading Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper. He's really a good author. This book gives you another perspective on life. Didju know pursuing God's glory and own joy is the same path? Some (probably i do too sometimes) feel like it's not easy when you have to give God the glory all the time. Probably during a self-centered moment, when praises from others for our efforts should be all on ourselves. But Piper says: Creation and Creator. full stop. nothing more. Creation gets all it's meaning and purpose from Creator. God created man for His glory. The purpose of man is for His glory. In other words, in the process of glorifying and magnifying Him, we in return receive, joy. Same route. This is just one the thing that caught me thinking.

Oh. I have a new name. I didn't exactly come up with it. The guys did. On the first day while we were waiting for the speaker to come in, one of them thought we should give ourselves new names that starts with the same alphabet so that we'd be in the same group or something. Lol then it sorta stuck. Hi, i'm Adrianne. Not funny. It was either that or Angst. ahahaha. I didn't use it until this Iran friend kept on forgetting Shing Yi. WHYYYY:'( but it's such a pretty name!

Just a few updates! I'm in the library and will be heading for class soon. Toods!

P/s: i miss my friends:( damnalot.

Dioji,

Our new puppy ;)

A schauzer+poodle.

She made me sleep at 4am the day before yesterday, clean her pee 4times in less than an hour and wake up at 5.30am this morning! Take a look at those eyes. Those evil puppy eyes make you sayang her so much.

7 down, 4 more!

Still not a relieve.

Three core science Subjects and killer Chinese!

how is it a relieve? but i'm not complaining.

So anyway, not going to talk about SPM. (Seriously this time) I cant wait for Christmas!!! ;D Although few other important dates will come before that, eg. PROM

The above was written BEFORE i took my Bio. Due to computer problem, I can only continue writting now, which is 1st December. which is also mummy's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM;)) Surprises awaits. 2nd sister's handling 'the plan' this year.

Speaking of prom, few weeks ago mummy brought me to tryout few dresses. ;) After looking through most of them including wedding dresses just for fun lah ok! I found one which wasn't too bad, material was pretty, almost the shade i wanted, oh wth i just tried it on. Hmm it was alright;) So how must does it cost? 'This is only rm900+, but we have discount for you girl, *calculates* it's now rm600+. 'Oh, okay.' Then mum said, 'So do you really like it? Or do you want daddy to come see it first?' WOW. Like mummy was willing to buy me that dress.

But i decided. to think about it.

Few days later, i think i came to my senses. 1) Not like it was the perfect dress. 2) I could actually spend half that money, and the other half could actually be used to.. buy dresses for girls who probably dont even have any dresses to wear? 3)Still not the perfect dress. 4) That's it, i'm moving to the next shop.

FYI, I got FIRST BATCH for National Service. There goes my after-SPM-to-do list. :S but i'm not complaining. I actually feel like God wants me to be there. First, i told God it's His decision to make cause He knows what's best. So i GOTit-.- Then, i told God to pick the right batch and campsite for me. So, i think it's going quite smoothly now. Just my January plan wouldn't work out anymore, but oh well, will see how it goes.

Qi got the second or third batch. awh poor thing. In the middle of tuition class, he randomly told me 17 people died in the last 5years during NS-.- Real or not, imma have to face it anyway. OK i have to go, BYEE!

p/s: CHRISTMAAAS! I have been a good girl this year;)

?

No i will not talk about my careless mistake for English. Okay you know what i will.

THE MOST TRAUMATIZING FOUR MINUTES IN MY LIFE.

I started my second essay at 9, because it somehow got into my head the paper would and at 10.

At 9.41a.m.

The woman said '4minutes left.'

O.O :'(( D8

I had to conclude my essay.

This is SPM man.

What a joke.

I shall just completely trust in God and hope for the best.
